The central problem will be defining usefulness in a measurable and valid way. A review of the literature on Six Sigma revealed seven major sources that articulated tool sets; all were incorporated into the study. For Project Management, A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide)—Third Edition was used as the primary source of tools (Project Management Institute, 2004).

This is well documented in the MOT literature. Radical innovation (invention based) initiates the curve (b1), incremental innovations cause a continuation and upswing of the curve (the slope), and a future radical innovation causes disequilibrium and the formation of a
